Mid-career childish Gambino was so, so good.
After the corny (I’m too black for whites and too white for blacks) raps and before the soul/R/B stuff (Awaken, My Love).
This era here was so good.
to every artist/person out there, your life & career will hardly ever just be vertical, and the purpose of art goes beyond charts, sales, analytics, algorithms. this shit has its natural & unnatural ups & downs, but the best thing you can do is create things that are honest, so that you never look back & have regrets. everyday you’re breathing you get an opportunity to reintroduce yourself & put something meaningful out into the world. do the work. have fun doing it. everything else is a bonus.
@KingWow@YeezyTaughtMe72 I think Out of Time would have been it but Blinding lights only took off after the album dropped. Not when it was initially a single.
